I placed breakpoints in all methods. When I start de jsp it calls the constructor...no problem, and then he gets the date from the getDate method.When I submit the form the breakpoints in both updateDate and setDate aren't called. It just calls the getDate method.WEIRD!!!

I will need to get the submitted date for several other things in my code. How do i retreive that information in my bean??

I am using the last of Rich Faces versions. Already found the reason for the problem, and I will post here in case somebody else have the same problem.

On the bean, I was using java.sql.Date to define the date property of the bean. It should be java.util.Date.It didnt work with Calendar or String. The only way I found to retrieve the information from the calendar was using java.util.Date as the bean property.

Hope it helps others...i passed a long time testing until i reached that solution. I think in the rich faces example in the web should have a complete example of the use of a calendar with the bean included. Would have saved me some work.
